MedMira’s

Innovation Roadmap

Driven by technology and guided by clinical needs, we advance rapid testing with purpose.
This roadmap outlines the developments shaping our next generation of solutions.

BUILT to ADVANCE

Rapid Testing Refined

Our development pipeline highlights key projects built on our two proprietary platforms, which enable versatile use across human health, food processing, and biosafety testing through both internal development and external partnerships.

Rapid Vertical Flow™ (RVF) Technology

Our patented RVF™ technology uses a rapid vertical flow design that shortens time-to-result and provides reliable, high-sensitivity signal detection, proven in validation studies and use across various settings.

MiROQ™ System

Our emerging MiROQ™ platform combines RVF with SERS-based signal enhancement for quantitative liquid biopsy assays, tracking biomarker levels and trends over time – beyond simple yes/no results.

From Innovation to Impact

What’s next in our pipeline

Our diagnostic pipeline illustrates the structured progression of tests from early development to regulatory submission. Each product follows a standardized pathway to ensure quality, performance, and regulatory compliance.

The pipeline is organized into five phases:

Phase 1 Product Development
Phase 2 Validation
Phase 3 Pre-Submission
Phase 4 Clinical Trials Phase
Phase 5 Final Submission

This phased structure provides a clear and transparent overview of the current status of each test within the pipeline.
